Since late May, I have been hospitalized three times: first at Bridgeport Hospital in Bridgeport,…read moreCT, then at Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, CT, and now at Valley Regional Hospital in Claremont, New Hampshire. I was admitted this morning after an ambulance transport to their ER. I was initially surprised by their three-star rating and couldn't understand the reason. This is my second encounter with this Claremont hospital. Several years ago, I visited their ER due to a kidney stone; their care was outstanding, and I vowed to return if needed. Yesterday, I was treated for a hematoma in my left thigh on the ER floor, similar to treatment I previously received at the VA hospital in White River Junction. As my condition worsened, I was transported by ambulance to the nearest ER, which turned out to be here at Valley Regional--the staff were professional, attentive, and compassionate. In particular, Jeffrey, the paramedic on duty, provided remarkable care, exemplifying excellent emergency services. After tests, I was admitted this morning and met Kathy, the floor nurse, to be equally genuine, a true empathy with the perfect bedside manner personality, and skill level that made my stay exceptional. Not all the hospital beds I've had to sleep in over the past two months have been this comfortable. This room and VRH was private and calming. I'm not sure how people aren't experiencing the same relief I am, as everyone here has been exceptional.

My bill reflects three distinct "Destruction of Lesion" charges, despite the fact that twelve freeze applications were performed as part of a single treatment session. Treating lesions a few inches apart should not result in multiple separate invoice lines. I was charged $1,241.00 for this office visit, which seems excessive. Finally, a biopsy was performed on the same lesion type that was treated multiple times during the same visit. This procedure appears unnecessary under these circumstances and gives the impression that it was conducted primarily to generate additional charges.

He sent it to another dermatologist that I read the reviews on him and everything he has no experience in what I'm dealing with which is a parasite. I don't understand why he told me. He was sending me to infectious disease and he didn't because that's what I've been trying to get to see and they're just giving me the runaround. I saw a nurse practitioner a couple years ago. She did not examine me. She didn't do anything she put down. I was delusional how all these people all these doctors are reading my record and thinking that I'm delusional and they don't listen to what I had to say but Dr. Price did so I thought maybe I was getting somewhere, but obviously not which is very disappointing because this is ruined my life.

The two women at the reception desk showed no regard for HIPAA regulations. When I arrived for my 10 AM appointment for my tooth extraction, the receptionist loudly announced, "You are here for your extraction of tooth #7," which was overheard by everyone in the lobby. This lack of privacy was extremely embarrassing. The situation worsened when I had to do an impression for my flipper. The staff reclined the chair down instead of sitting up, which caused me to gag. When I started to choke, the assistant yelled at me to lift my legs. This unprofessional behavior left me traumatized. To make matters worse, when I returned to pick up my flipper, the receptionists repeated their loud and intrusive behavior, announcing my presence and the reason for my visit to everyone in the lobby. The flipper itself was of poor quality, looking like it came out of a bubble gum machine, despite costing nearly $1,000. While the dentist was decent and the extraction itself went smoothly, the overall experience was marred by the unprofessional and disrespectful behavior of the front desk staff, the staff who did the impression and the poor quality of the "flipper." I would not recommend this office to anyone seeking respectful, quality and private dental care.

When I started with them a few years ago, I was so happy to have found them after a bad experience with a Keene dentist. Plus, they were preferred providers with my dental insurance (they since have stopped being preferred providers with any insurance - ouch!). I have crowns and grind and clench. I wear a night guard. I do not eat chewy or hard things, searched and researched a toothpaste that wouldn't erode the crown's surfaces, I even brush for 2 minutes twice a day (I actually time it). Then I had a couple of teeth (crowns) break - front teeth - just suddenly I felt an object in my mouth, then another. Fortunately, I didn't swallow them! I didn't see my usual dentist. I saw some guy I didn't know, rushed me, and did not take into account my anxiety. I needed a partial, and the partial was a catastrophe. I was never given an opportunity to have a say in color. What I received was a partial that made it look as if those teeth were rotting and one of the "teeth" on it was crooked. I brought up the crooked tooth, and was told "it has to be like that." It took time, but I went back with my complaints and worked with my usual dentist. They were going to re-do the partial. It took 6 weeks to get it. It was lovely. The color we chose matched my teeth, the crooked "tooth" was straightened. Nice, yes? After 4 days, the partial broke. I went back, and was told "there is nothing we can do." I paid a lot for that dental appliance, and first, it was hideous, then beautiful, and then broke within a few days. Nothing they could do! I walked out in shock. Once in my car, I was so angry that I was shaking. Did I go back in? No. I have a valid, real condition regarding anxiety and medical practitioners. I was unable to go in. I will do something about such callous care - write reviews, and write to Bowman with photos. Frankly, I am traumatized by the whole mess. I also think, in part, I received poor care, "unable to do", because I was looking into going to another dentist - a practice that is a preferred provider with my insurance. I was still going to Bowman, because of the issues we were already in the middle of. I'd already paid Bowman, and it was definitely more than $1,000 for the partial. Now, I have a really ugly partial, a "new partial that broke within days, and am looking at paying for the same partial with a different dentist. Bowman's practice has gone from caring about clients to making that cha-ching!

There are too few words in the English language to describe what Bowman Dental has done for me…read more I'll do my best... Long story short, I was born with very weak teeth and had spent thousands of dollars trying to save them until they just weren't salvageable. I initially opted for dentures at another dentist. They were awful. I couldn't eat without them falling out, I gagged all the time, my upper lip started curling in and, at 45, i felt like I would never be the same again. I looked into many options to get all on 4 and some told me my case was too complex. Some were priced so outrageously I couldn't even imagine this being a possibility. I was so depressed. I even considered going to Mexico but my concern was that I would go through all that and then have complications that would make me fly back and forth to a foreign country and I could never afford that. One day, I got out of my funk and decided to hunt for someone again after realizing I feared going to Mexico and having complications. Bowman offered financing options I was approved for to get an All on 4 package. From my first meeting with Dr Bowman I knew my life would change forever. He has one of the best bedside manners I've ever witnessed. I've seen dozens of dentists and no one tops him. He explained everything in great detail and we came up with a plan. I couldn't believe I'd have new teeth and part of my life back so soon! Dr Bowman was a pure gem throughout the process. I was never waiting long for an appointment. His staff is beyond amazing and it is such a pleasure to watch them interact with him as he trains them during procedures. They clearly deeply respect him and love their jobs. I'm the middle of treatment I was diagnosed with cancer. This delayed my finals and could have seriously caused issues with my healing. Dr Bowman accommodated me every step of the way, working around my cancer appointments and becoming more like family than a medical professional. I can't imagine ever going to another dental practice. Today I feel beautiful, confident, and the compliments I get on my stunning, natural looking all on 4 are so uplifting. Don't give it a second thought, book now!
